Prompt: If you could erase one type of animal from the face of this Earth, what would it be?

You know, this is quite hard. I like most animals. What would be the point of erasing one from the face of the Earth? I've grown to appreciate them even more since putting myself in Elliza's mindset with animals. There aren't any animals on the moon, after all.

Hmm...I guess, the moose. Why? No idea, but I'm sure the Earth would survive without moose wandering around all over the place.

You would think that after NaNoWriMo, and writing 83,000 recorded words in one month, that I'd be sick of writing. Not so. December first, I received two new fanfict ideas from the muses that wander my mind. December second, I started writing both of those ideas. The last three days since November ended, I've continued writing Imminent Pandemonium, and my work-in-progress fanfic that I haven't posted up yet.

That's why I decided to accept the challenge of writing 600,000 words in one year. If I'm able to write that much, I may as well keep myself busy, right?

Right now, though, I'm just trying to concentrate on finishing my novel. There's probably only a few thousand words left, which is good, except that I'm not that great at endings. Sure, they turn out alright, but I always have trouble trying to write them. I think it has something to do with stopping with the characters.

It may sound weird, but when I create a character, especially a main character, I really connect to them and don't like to see them go. Really, if I had my way, I'd just use the same characters over and over and over again, just in different settings. Too bad that really wouldn't work that well. I think my readers would get annoyed.

Although, now that I think on it....isn't that what a fanfiction is? I'm just using the same characters again and again...but then again, I don't put Harry on the moon, and then take him to a magical forest, and then put him in a fairy tale....that might be a little weird.

On to a different topic. Driving. Ooh, what fun. No, really, though. Driving in snow has been interesting so far. I've had one experience where I slid, at a stop light and the car was crooked. Luckily, there was no one around, because it was late enough at night.

My first time driving into town, I didn't realized just how tense I was until I wasn't driving anymore and I could feel my arms aching.

But altogether, I do enjoy driving in the snow. It's quite the adventure compared to the repetitive boring driving that was happening before the snow fell.

This post has ended. You can stop reading now.

About Me

As I writer, I go by many names, many of them false. Even the name I go by on a daily basis is not my real name. That name, however, is Ella. I currently do educational type things at my local community college and spend an absurd amount of time on homework every day. I also work part time as a bookkeeper and tax intern at an accounting firm. I recently married a cowboy and am living the dream with him. In my spare time, I steal other authors' characters and settings and write different stories with them, then call it fanfiction and get away with the theft. My genre of choice is fantasy, both to read and write, but my writing is more mainstream fiction than anything. Writing keeps me sane by making me a tad crazy, so just stay with me if something a bit odd happens and we'll get along fine.
